They have limited access to reproductive health services that focus on the special needs of female adolescents. This study was aimed to assess the determinants of reproductive health service utilization among rural female adolescents of Asgede-Tsimbla district.MethodsA community-based cross-sectional study was carried out from February to April 2018, in eight randomly selected sub-districts of Asgede-Tsimbla. A total of 844 female adolescents aged 15–19 were interviewed using a pre-tested structured questionnaire. Data were entered into Epi-info Version 3.5.3 and then exported to SPSS Version 21 for analysis. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was carried out to assess the association. Statistical significance was declared by 95% confidence interval of the odds ratio.ResultFrom 844 participants, 95.5% of female adolescents heard about reproductive services from different sources and 69.7% of them utilized the reproductive health services within the last 12 months. Factors like, age of 16–20 years (AOR = 1.85, 95%CI: 1.17–2.92), mother’s educational status (being illiterate (AOR = .33, 95%CI:.14–.77)), discussion about reproductive health services with their family (AOR = 8.02, 9%CI:5.52–11.66), being Merchant (AOR = 2.7995%CI:1.11–6.96), unemployed (AOR = 2.90, 95%CI:1.19–7.06) or student (AOR:2.38, 95%CI:1.04–5.42) in occupation, high perceived severity (AOR = 4.05, 95%CI:2.68–6.11), high perceived barriers (AOR = .44, 95%CI:.30–64) were independent predictors of reproductive health services utilization among female adolescents the study area.ConclusionAbout 69.7% of the adolescent females were utilizing reproductive health services in the study area though it was very low as compared with the national plan. Introducing messages that increase the perceived threat and decreasing perceived barriers to utilize reproductive health services as well as increasing self-efficacy of adolescent females would help further increase reproductive health services utilization by adolescent females.

“…This nding was nearly in agreement with the study conducted in Nigeria 81.6%, Gondar 79% and Goba 72.4% (31,43,52). However this nding was higher than the study conducted in Hadyia zone 64.5%, North Shewa 27.9% and kachabirra 17.6% (40,46,53). This difference might be due to different characteristics of individuals between the study areas and design, whereas this study was conducted in urban and have higher educational level so adolescents might have good knowledge and attitude towards family planning service utilization.…”

Reproductive health is one of the problems that occur in adolescent life. Adolescents who have never been exposed to information about reproductive health from an early age are the main causes of these problems. Reproductive health service facilities for adolescents are available at the Puskesmas, but have not been properly utilized by adolescents. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of adolescent characteristics with the utilization of adolescent reproductive health services. The method used is descriptive. The sampling technique used was random sampling, as many as 370 teenagers who had used reproductive health services. Results. There is a relationship of age (p value 0.01), parental past education (p value 0.02), and parental income (p value 0.01) with the use of adolescent reproductive health services. Research recommendations are expected that community nurses can increase the scope of visits both at school and in families with adolescents so that adolescents are more exposed to information about reproductive health and are able to make use of available reproductive health services optimally.
